摘要: A transmission gate structure includes two PMOS transistors in a first active area, two NMOS transistors in a second active area, a first metal zero segment overlying the first active area, a second metal zero segment offset from the first metal zero segment by a distance, a third metal zero segment offset from the second metal zero segment by the distance, a fourth metal zero segment offset from the third metal zero segment by the distance and overlying the second active area. A first conductive segment overlies a first portion of the first active area included in one or both PMOS transistors, and a second conductive segment overlies a second portion of the second active area included in one or both NMOS transistors. The active areas and metal zero segments are perpendicular to the conductive segments, and the PMOS and NMOS transistors are coupled together through the conductive segments.

摘要: A filler cell region (in a semiconductor device) includes: gate segments, a majority of first ends of which substantially align with a first reference line that parallel and proximal to a top boundary of the filler cell region, and a majority of second ends of which substantially align with a second reference line that is parallel and proximal to a bottom boundary of the filler cell region. First and second gate segments extend continuously across the filler cell region; and third & fourth and fifth & sixth gate segments are correspondingly coaxial and separated by corresponding gate-gaps. Relative to the first direction: a first end of the first gate segment extends to the top boundary of the filler cell region; and a second end of the second gate segment extends to the bottom boundary of the filler cell region.

摘要: A method of generating an ECO-layout of an ECO base cell includes: generating first and second active area patterns and arranging them on opposite sides of a first axis; generating non-overlapping first, second and third conductive patterns and arranging each of them so as to correspondingly overlap the first and second active area patterns; locating the first conductive pattern between the second and third conductive patterns; generating a first cut-pattern which overlaps corresponding central regions of the second, and third conductive patterns; aligning the first cut-pattern relative to the first axis; generating a fourth conductive pattern; locating the fourth conductive pattern over an area bounded by the first cut-pattern; and expanding the fourth conductive pattern to occupy an area which substantially overlaps a first segment of the first conductive pattern and a first segment of one of the second and third conductive patterns, thereby resulting in the ECO-layout.

摘要: A semiconductor cell structure includes four transistors, two gate-strips, four pairs of conductive segments, and a plurality of horizontal routing lines. Each of the two gate-strips intersects a first-type active zone and a second-type active zone. A first conductive segment is configured to have a first supply voltage. A second conductive segment is configured to have a second supply voltage. The first gate-strip is conductively connected to the second conductive segment. Each of the horizontal routing lines intersects one or more conductive segments over one or more corresponding intersections while conductively isolated from the one or more conductive segments at each of the one or more corresponding intersections.
